# create-lilypad-module

`create-lilypad-module` is an officially supported package that provides a simple scaffolding for building Lilypad modules. It offers a modern Docker setup with minimal configuration.

{% hint style="info" %}
A Lilypad module is a Git repository that allows you to perform various tasks using predefined templates and inputs.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The following guide is using the "Hugging Face" template, which is more advanced.

If you are new to module building, it is highly recommended you use the "Ollama" template first.

There is currently not a guide in our docs for the "Ollama" template. We will work on adding one soon, but the directions in the README should be sufficient.
